Description

Old All Saints Church has undergone a stunning conversion from Anglican chapel-of-ease, built in 1869, to a luxury holiday home, sleeping up to 6 guests.  It is located in the pretty village of Horsmonden in the Weald of Kent, a countryside idyll surrounded by hop gardens, orchards and woodlands.  The property has been sympathetically converted into a stunning dwelling, retaining its painted decoration to the chancel roof and offers a great example of polychrome brickwork and original arched stained glass windows.  The open plan living area is spacious and has a magnificent double height, vaulted ceiling with glass doors to a comfy TV room and another subterranean snug.  The bespoke staircase with glass panelling transports you to the three double bedrooms with the master, on the top floor, boasting a ensuite bathroom with far reaching views from the bathtub.  Old All Saints Church has been beautifully styled and designed with different areas for relaxation or simply coming together as a family or group of friends for a great getaway in the beautiful Kent countryside.  The property is more suited to adults and teenage children due to its design features.  Pub: 0.8 miles   Shop: 0.8 miles  Beach: 29 miles

Reviews

Old All Saints Church is such an amazing property and we loved staying there! The facilities are excellent and the location provided us with plenty of opportunities to walk, cycle and visit interesting places. We had a great holiday.

Ms S,

Fantastic property and the quality of bedding/towels and furnishings are outstanding. A truly unique property that is well worth booking. Lovely location and brilliant space for parking. Although next to a road this is not an issue with very low volume of traffic.

Mr F,

The property is absolutely stunning. We had an amazing stay. Loved the comfort and space. Such a pretty part of the country and lots to see and do not too far away. We visited Scotney Castle, Rye, Canterbury, Battle and Hastings. Wonderful to have 2 fridges! Would love to stay again. Thoroughly recommended.

Mrs B,

Unbelievable location. Magical, atmospheric, grand and yet welcoming. If you like any music then listening to it whilst relaxing in the nave of a chapel is wonderful. The layout of the holiday home gave us fantastic family dinners in an unforgettable unique space but having the snugs gave us cosy family film viewing too. Everything worked...the two ovens even made cooking a pleasure and the ensuite bathroom was pure luxury. So much to do in the area (walks, pinetum, vineyard, Go Ape, Sissinghurst, Leeds Castle and the best cat cafe in Tonbridge to name a few) and yet we felt remote enough to relax completely. Could not fault the place. Would recommend without hesitation.

Ms D,

The property is stunning and has been beautifully renovated. The pictures do not do justice to the interior with the stained glass windows and original features. It is furnished to a very high standard and is extremely comfortable. The property is adjacent to a very busy small road so it is quite noisy with passing traffic especially in the garden. A central location for visiting National Trust properties and Hever and Leeds castles which were interesting. We also went to Canterbury for the day and also visited Whitstable which is nearby.

Mrs F,

A stunning place to stay and well positioned to visit the many gardens and national trust properties in the area.

Mrs N,

It was great spending my birthday over the weekend at The Old Saints Cottage with friends & family. Both the cottage & village was absolutely amazing. We absolutely loved it and are excited to rebook. Xoxo

Miss E,
